Same as the god thing...I wouldn't say people talk as if they are 100% sure, but they do talk as if the theory behind the evidence is true, which is how science progresses. If we do not accept the theories that support the evidence, we cannot use them to further determine what else is true, or even if there is new evidence the theory does not explain.
There is far more empirical evidence for the Big Bang than there is a God though (well, that's because there is no empirical evidence for God, but I think you get my point.)
